The Atom Smashers Premieres at Science Chicago

On Friday, September 19th, The Atom Smashers will premiere as a keystone event of Science Chicago, a yearlong citywide effort to promote science!
During this Science Chicago opening week:
- - Mayor Daley will kick off Science Chicago at a press conference powered by bicycles
- - Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, host of public television’s Nova ScienceNow and frequent guest on The Colbert Report, will present Adventures in Science Literacy: How Societies that Embrace the Discoveries of Nature Have Transformed the World.
- - Science Chicago will take over the Museum of Science and Industry’s front lawn with interactive exhibits, experiments, games and shows, including Tom Skilling, Northwestern University’s Solar Car Team, Mike Davis’s chemistry stunts, and ice cores many thousands of years old.
For the film, a panel discussion with us and physicists will follow Friday’s screening, as will a reception. If you’ve ever wanted to chat with scientists over cocktails, now is your chance.
